18 // He/Him // Slow beginner artist and yapper extraordinaire. I like Pokémon, so that’s what’ll be the norm.

I love to write in general, mostly about my developing story or academics.

I’m a bit socially anxious, so please be patient.
There’s not much to say for the former because I’d already learned everything there from an online course I look in high school that wasn’t accepted for credit.

LA2 was much more different. I guess the first thing I’ll say is that it’s much more abstract. Check out some of my last homework:

I forgot to post on Cat Day and Caturday! To make up for it, here are pictures of Celeste being a fat baby.

Even though I graduated, I was still hooked up by my high school esports team and got free access to Dreamhack ATL for the weekend.
The team and I went Saturday and looked at a lot of Pokémon cards. I didn’t buy any, though. Still disappointed with the market and all that.

All accordion to plan…

Today’s crossword was Undertale/Deltarune-based lol

Making a steno dictionary for words that aren't already included in the ones that I have.

3 words so far, and there's a very apparent duality in my priorities.

Üüü new bug friends aaaaaa

Was pleasantly surprised when scrolling on the Pokémon Center website because of a couple of special releases.
This is the first piece of ribombee merch that I think I’ve seen, so I had to get it!
Lurantis has some funny eye placement going on, too :Þ

Very low-effort thing that I threw together to characterize a couple of OCs as I figure out what to draw.

I forgot to align the left margin, so the “low-effort” part is extra apparent 😓

Woke up 3 hours after the direct (watched it immediately after I did) and I’m already being blessed with quality Pokémon art of the most insane calibers

Can’t believe I forgot to share what I saw left on the board from over the weekend when I went to class on Monday lol

Wonder what the meeting was like

Rare post alert!
Haven’t been particularly busy, just low on motivation.

I (informally) present another collaborator of Fiel’s: Nèalska Chënysz, a skilled but non-collaborative electrical engineer.

Came to the realization of how tied to birds steno is. No idea why, but I love it.

- Top software is Plover (a bird)
- Lapwing (bird) is the theory that I’m studying because it was recommended
- My keyboard has some birds on the bottom!

Typey tiiiime!

Heard about this and ended up pulling it for myself lol

9 - Big fan of the elegance in all of the art. Makes me want more cards.

10 - Special cases. Love the radiant pattern.

11 - I wanted to make a page for super old cards, but this sneasle is all I’ve got. From the date range at the bottom, it was made before I was born!

5 - One for some people I know on here. Got this because they looked like best friends.

6 - Please make more Ogerpon cards. I need my fix.

7 - A favorite part of my binder: all VMax eeveelutions!

8 - :)

1 - Front page. For the most rare/eye-catching ones. I plan to make my shiny mew EX a family heirloom because of its value and its cuteness.

2 - Love these two, but you probably already know that.

3 - Monke

4 - An extra beautiful card pair. I received it on the day of a solar eclipse.

Laying out the plot points for Part 4 and felt like sharing something random. I changed which Pokémon to represent the MC for that part with, so I'll need to practice drawing him a bit more.
Wish I could be his friend if he were real.

If you remember Teolt (plusle), you may remember that he has a sister. Since he was introduced as a sketch, I gave her the same treatment.

Yagmai Vergös acts as Teolt’s complement by handling experimentation and dreading theoretical work.

Favorite food: Saltines

Falling asleep at work is something Sónamru can’t help. Narcoleptic insomnia (see comments) is no joke!

Tried a little shading, but still gonna focus on overall substance before caring too much. This took too long to make, but it was worth it! Just need to improve my time.

I have Antarctica saved as a location on my weather app so that I can grimace at the unfamiliar shade of purple on the bar and the insane temperatures. Crazy to think that there’s an actual place like this.

A big part of what I’m doing is tied in with what started as a random “hobby” I developed about 1.5 years ago where I satirized mathematical topics by making a nonexistent constant/formula/theorem. Here’s a sample of I scribbled down while doodling last night.
Expect content like this in the story.

Sorting through stock cards so I can put them in my binder and got a double whammy of silly cards of the sneasle line. Perfect encapsulation of the vibe of the average cat.

BIRTHDAY
RAAAAHH

Yeah, this was the thing I was talking about. Was planning on making something, but it sucked, so I didn’t.
I’m 18 now! I can and will be tried as an adult in court. /j

Happy birthday, Markiplier!
